mooring cover

I have a 1985 Nautique 2001 and am having a mooring cover made. What is the best material? What is the best method of attachment? and is it easier to have the cover attach at the bottom of the windshield or cover the whole boat?

On my old cover it had loops to tie it down while trailering and it also had snaps for mooring which I liked. Mine didn't have a draw string but used a 1" wide nylon strap with a quick release buckle like what would be on a ski jacket never lost tension and was easy to tighten or loosen.

gn6027 if your pocket on the cover for the draw string is wide enough you might be able to swap it for the 1" wide nylon strap. My current cover has a string like yours and I liked the strap much better than the string. You can get the buckle about anywhere they sell marine stuff and the strap isn't hard to find either. Just a thought to help you out. Oh one thing tho make sure your string isn't sawn in somewhere that would prevent it from being removed if it is then it won't work, most aren't but some are.

You could get additional buckles for the tower legs, but the grommets might prevent all of that anyway.
